  • Patent number: 10006973
    Abstract: A device includes a diamond with one or more nitrogen vacancies, a light emitting diode configured to emit light that travels through the diamond, and a photo sensor configured to sense the light. The device also includes a processor operatively coupled to the photo sensor. The processor is configured to determine, based on the light sensed by the photo sensor, a magnetic field applied to the diamond.

  • Patent number: 9817081
    Abstract: A device includes a diamond assembly. The diamond assembly includes a diamond with a plurality of nitrogen vacancy centers and electrical components that emit electromagnetic waves. The device also includes a light source configured to emit light toward the diamond and a photo detector configured to detect light from the light source that traveled through the diamond. The device further includes an attenuator between the diamond assembly and the photo detector. The attenuator is configured to attenuate the electromagnetic waves emitted from the electrical components of the diamond assembly.

  • Patent number: 7450065
    Abstract: A radar system operates at various different frequencies, and routes power among various antennas by use of a hybrid arrangement. The system is precalibrated at each possible operating frequency by adjusting the phase shifts associated with the hybrid in a feedback manner to provide optimal performance, and the calibration values are stored. During normal operation, the calibration values of phase shift are selected and used for feedforward operation at each frequency.
